Free Face Blur & Pixelate Tool Online

Drop the photo on this page, choose Blur and click Hide Faces. The tool finds the faces and blurs them for you. Check the result with the before and after slider, then click Download to save it as a PNG.

Blur softens each face so its shape still shows; on large faces some detail can survive. Pixelate turns each face into square blocks that get bigger with the face. Black Bar covers the face with a solid black box and ignores the intensity setting.

Sometimes. Blur is capped at 50 pixels, so a large face in a big photo can stay recognizable, and small pixel blocks can leave detail too. For anything sensitive, use Black Bar: it replaces the face with solid black pixels in the saved PNG, so there is nothing to recover.

Intensity runs from 10 to 100 and starts at 60. For Blur it sets the blur strength, which tops out at 50 pixels. For Pixelate it sets the block size, up to half the face box at 100. Black Bar does not use it.

The detector finds faces most reliably when they are close to the camera and turned toward it. Small faces far in the background, side profiles and covered faces can be missed. Try cropping closer to the people with the image cropper, then run it again.

Not with this tool today. It hides every face it finds in one pass, and there is no option to skip a face or add one by hand. Check the face count after each run to see how many faces were covered.

You can add one JPG, PNG or WebP photo up to 50 MB and 6000 pixels on each side. HEIC, GIF and other formats are turned away, so convert those to JPG first. The download is always a PNG at the original size.

The result is saved as a PNG, which keeps every pixel exactly. A PNG of a camera photo is often several times larger than the JPG it came from. If you need a smaller file, run the PNG through the image compressor afterward.

No. Your browser finds and hides the faces, so the photo is not sent to PixConvert. The first run fetches the face detector from jsDelivr and Google storage. Anonymous usage stats record the style, intensity, timing and a size range, never the picture or its name.

It is built for phone browsers too. Open this page, tap the box and pick a photo from your gallery. If the photo is refused, it may be HEIC or over 50 MB, so use a JPG. Very large photos can be slow on older phones.

It should not. The result is a new PNG drawn from the pixels, not a copy of your original file. To be sure location data is gone, or to strip it from a photo without changing any pixels, use the remove EXIF data tool instead.
